And again, this time from me. Oh dear, I seem to be tangling with an irritated teen who has way too much time on his hands. -- Hoary 04:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TOR/proxy user relisted

Hi, just a quick note to tell you that I relisted this case, open proxies can be checked by RFCU if you don't know the underlying IP address. Cheers! -- lucasbfr talk 12:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA was unsuccessful

I have closed your RfA, and I am afraid there was no consensus to promote you. Please address the issues raised, and feel free to reapply in the future. Oh, and I wondered whether you'd still consider requesting a rename, at WP:CHU or WP:USURP? Good luck. --Deskana (banana) 19:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry it failed. Politics rule 21:18, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User DeepBlueDiamond

Hi... I noticed your revert applied to User:DeepBlueDiamond.

The situation there is a bit complicated. He has been editing a user page that I set up specifically to try and communicate with him. The communication is difficult for various reasons; but his attempt to edit User:Duae Quartunciae/W. Kehler/Issues is not actually vandalism.

If I have serious problems maintaining the integrity of the page, I will call for assistance; but for the time being it is under control, mostly, and DeepBlueDiamond is welcome to edit as he thinks best. I will be monitoring and managing the page, which is in my user space.

Thanks for the help... but I think it is not needed in the subpages of User:Duae Quartunciae. Cheers Duae Quartunciae (talk · cont) 15:34, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion of ‎User:Azhuntingfishing

Um, this is a user page, and really, (except for personal info) the respective user is allowed to put anything on it. Besides this does not look like spam anyway.

As Wolfgang Pauli is supposed to have said about a bad theory, that's not right, that's not even wrong. CSD #G11 (prohibiting the creation -- and authorizing the speedy deletion -- of spam) covers ALL pages, not just articles, this policy sets limits on what can be put on a user page generally (meaning that no one is "allowed to put anything [they like] on it"), and this page was an especially abusive link farm. Besides, spam disguised as user pages is deleted all the time. This batch here is selected from the last few months. --Calton | Talk 15:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Come on, man, this is a redirect to a user sub page. It's not a nonexistent user.

Oh for the love of God, it's a redirect because I -- me, myself, I -- moved the misnamed user subpage to its correct location. There is no such user as Ian Dunster - insect picture gallery (talk · contribs), period/full stop, meaning that, yes, it IS a nonexistent user. --Calton | Talk 15:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT DID YOU MEAN IN MY COMPLETLY NEW PAGE?

You warned me anyhow mistaken or confused in my 1 day new page; sorry, what do you meant? DeepBlueDiamond 20:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion about Bad Vista?

You nominated Bad Vista for deletion, but then you didn't vote :-) Gronky 20:10, 12 August 2007 (UTC) Normally nominators vote "delete, per nom. [signature]". Gronky 20:10, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Batgirl Returns

If you get the time, can you withdraw the AfD? Tomorrow, I will be redirecting the rest of the articles due to the merge discussion going unanswered, so the actual AfD is unneeded. TTN 22:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy blank

Is there a particular reason why you are reverting the courtesy blanking of my rfa? I was told this would be fine. - Crockspot 18:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Crockspot's RFA can be courtesy blanked - there's no need for archived discussions to be prominantly displayed like that. Please do not restore it again. Cheers, WilyD 18:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Hello Panoptical. If you check out the information I removed, you will notice that none of it is attributed to external sources. Wikipedia policy dictates that this information must be removed. In future, please check your facts before accusing other users of vandalism. Thank you Wirela 19:06, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unicode cuneiforms

I see that you have deleted some minor editing of mine at the unicode cuneiform page. The page mentioned several cuneiform glyphs and referenced them by u+xxxxx, which is not particularly reader-friendly (though failproof). Thus, I have added the characters in question. It's difficult for me to understand how you can call that "vandalism".

For example, I changed "the sign must be expressed as either IGI.NÍG (U+12146 U+1243C) or IGI.ERIM (U+12146 U+1209F)" to "the sign must be expressed as either IGI.NÍG (U+12146 U+1243C, 𒅆𒐼) or IGI.ERIM (U+12146 U+1209F, 𒅆𒂟)" which looks a lot more illustrative. I now realize that I could have done better using the unicode template, which would have given "the sign must be expressed as either IGI.NÍG (U+12146 U+1243C, 𒅆𒐼) or IGI.ERIM (U+12146 U+1209F, 𒅆𒂟)". The last version may perform better with not-so-smart browsers, but I fail to see why the second would constitute "vandalism".

So please tell me what I did wrong, or otherwise I'll reinstall my change. 89.247.237.154 22:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done as annonced. If you insist of making a fool out of yourself, you me revert again, in which case I won't bother anymore.

Thanks for reverting that vandalism. Keep up the good work! Nswinton\talk 22:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
